USING GEOLOCATION TECHNOLOGIES WHEN CREATING A VIRTUAL MUSEUM OF COMPUTATION ENGINEERING
This paper is devoted to the research and analysis of the applicability of geolocation technologies for the development of an application of a virtual museum of computer technology. It was necessary to select the optimal technology for use in the mobile application of the museum. During the research of the subject area, the requirements for the application were determined, on the basis of which the selection criteria for geolocation technology were formed. Next we made the review of existing geolocation technologies and identified the technology that most closely met the criteria. This article describes the subject area, it contains review of existing applications using geolocation technologies, selection criteria for the geolocation technology that are suitable for solving the problem, for analysis of the features of existing geolocation technologies, their comparison against generated criteria for selection of the most appropriate technology. In the technological part, the features of positioning technology based on BLE beacons are considered, and there are also the description of demo mobile application requesting exhibit data based on location of the user.
